recent endeavors

Since my birthday I have:

• got a new roommate named Bryanne
• 
  
• gone to Kutarna's for a caramel apple and costume party for Halloween. FUN!!!
• 
  
• got back my mark for my Language and Power midterm. I'm really excited about it because this is the first time in the history of my University career that I have gotten 100% on a midterm! Oh and not only that, I actually got 102%!!!! I got 61 out of 60!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!! When I first saw the grade I thought it might be a mistake haha. But it wasn't and I'm sooo happy about it! With grades like these I will for SURE get into grad school. Now if only I could build up the courage to register for the GRE. Oh boy....

• been cruisin' around in my parents' car because they're having a blast in Mexico! How do I survive without a car? 
• 
  
• been invited to go see "Joseph and the Technicolored Dream Coat" at Stage West for the Hi-Tech Christmas party. It's on November 10th. And I'm really lucky they are going that day because it's a Thursday and on Thursdays I usually have class till 8:45pm. But the 10th is a Reading Day!!!! Woot!! So excited to see this play. I have never seen it, but I listened to the soundtrack all the time when I was a kid.

• taken Boonie some soup, ginger ale, crackers, and smoothie. Can you guess what he is? He's sick! Poor little munchkin. He wasn't able to go to school yesterday and he's still sick today. At least he has his new book "Death: A Life" to keep him company. 
• 
  
• speaking of "Death: A Life," this book is hilarious. It's the biography of Death. I read the introduction and a bit of the first chapter yesterday and I love it. It's so morbidly humorous. And a lot of it is sooo true and that's why it's funny.

• learned how to do a proper push up. I can't even do one! But I read this blog and I am now building up to do a floor push up. I started with wall push ups and found that I could do the recommended amount to be able to graduate to inclined push ups. I started the inclined yesterday and I am SORE! I couldn't do all 4 sets so I am going to work up to that, then move to an even greater incline, and eventually the floor! 

Last night Kobe and I heard a CRASH in my room while we were sleeping! Kobe jumped up and barked and growled a bunch. I was still half asleep and didn't really know what was going on. I think I thought someone was breaking through the wall or something so I let out a yelp myself. After coming to full consciousness I realized that my whiteboard had fallen off the wall and onto my dresser. Megan was on the other side of the wall so she heard the commotion and came to see if everything was okay. Kobe was still growling cause I hadn't turned the light on and he couldn't see what happened. I said my whiteboard fell so she went back to bed. 

Kobe was still staring at the wall and wouldn't lay down, so I turned the light on for him to see what happened. I didn't have my glasses on so it was all just a blur for me. We went back to sleep. This morning I turned my light on, with my glasses on this time, and saw that my wall was a lot emptier than I had anticipated. A picture with a big frame that was on my wall had totally disappeared! My whiteboard hadn't caused all the ruckus because it was still on the wall hanging by one nail. It was that big picture that had crashed onto my dresser. But it was GONE! 

At this point I started thinking I had gone crazy. Was the picture there in the first place? Did I even HAVE that picture??? It was seriously messing with my mind. Then I looked behind my dresser and that was where I found the picture to be. Good, I wasn't crazy. But it sure caused a mess. 

I figure the whiteboard came off the one nail, swung and hit the picture, the picture fell on the dresser and then fell behind it. 

Not really fun when you're asleep when that happens. It's a lot scarier in dream land.
